The Naval Supply Systems Command's Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, Contracting Department Groton office has issued a Special Notice regarding their intent to award a sole source purchase order to Moor Instruments for a moorVMS-LDF laser Doppler monitor. The procurement will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13 and Other Than Full and Open Competition authority under FAR 6.302-1. The anticipated award date is July 30, 2025, and the acquisition falls under the NAICS code 339112 for Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing. This notice serves as advance notification of the government's procurement intentions rather than a solicitation for proposals or quotations.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to provide transparency regarding the government's plan to conduct a sole source acquisition while offering an opportunity for potential challenges to this procurement approach. Contractors who believe they can provide equivalent supplies or services that meet the government's stated requirements may submit written challenges to sarah.p.schultz.civ@us.navy.mil for government consideration. Any challenges must include sufficient information to demonstrate that an equivalent alternative exists that would satisfy the government's needs. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete this requirement based on any responses received, and there are no specific eligibility criteria outlined for participation in the challenge process beyond the ability to demonstrate equivalent capabilities.
